Vaping cannabis is still very bad for you and can lead to very bad COPD.

  As far back as 1976 THC in particular has been studied and found to be an effective bronchodilator. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC470501/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC470501/ One study that explored the trends in outcomes of cannabis use among patients with COPD that were hospitalized found that “Among hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COPD, cannabis users had statistically significant lower odds of in-hospital mortality and pneumonia compared to non-cannabis users. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33998884/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33998884/ A randomized controlled trial conducted in 2018 that explored the effects of vaporizing cannabis and COPD patients found that “single-dose inhalation of vaporized cannabis had no clinically meaningful positive or negative effect on airway function, exertional breathlessness, and exercise endurance in adults with advanced COPD.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30049223/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30049223/

  I started vaping in the mid 1990s, I made my own vape. I also stopped vaping in the 1990s because it'a a lot more irritating to my lungs than smoking it. I believe it's the difference in size of the particulate matter between smoking and vaping. Even today with modern vapes it messes my lungs up after one hit, where smoking does not. I don't doubt vaping can lead some people to COPD. Now I mostly take THC edibles.

  you have a study to back this up or do you just confuse vaping cannabis with vaping fluids containing nicotine from cartridges?

    Ask any respiratory specialist operating in a legal state.
